The Phenomenon of Latvian Song Festivals
Skoupá, Kateřina ; Lemeškin, Ilja (advisor) ; Štoll, Pavel (referee)
This work deals with Latvian Song Festivals as an important phenomenon in Latvian history which started in Latvia in 1873. Their basis lays in choir singing developed in Latvia on a massive scale in 2nd half of 19th century. The festivals probably continued old tradition of singing - so-called teicamās dziesmas which had a similar structure as modern choirs. The development of choir singing is connected with Herrnhuterian schools and pedagogical colleges. The personality playing an important role in this process was a chief pedagogue in Valmiera Jānis Cimze whose collection Dziesmu rota launched a discussion about the future of Latvian culture from the point of view of national identity. Although the structure of Latvian Song Festivals was taken over from the Baltic Germans the idea of national identity has been involved since the beginning. Forming of Latvian national identity was in its beginnings influenced by J. G. Herder's philosophy and his idea of Volkslied and Volksgeist and it is closely connected with Latvian folk songs. It corresponds with Latvian self-determination as the nation of singers. In four historic periods defined by socio-political changes on Latvian territory these ideas together with a strong national element is found exactly in Latvian Song Festivals. The festivals become a...

Durmanová, Lucie ; Lemeškin, Ilja (advisor) ; Marvan, Jiří (referee)
In my thesis "The usage of participles and transgressives of the verbs "bti" (to be), "sakyti" (to say) in contemporary texts. Their equivalents in Czech and Latvian languages" the object of my research is a grammatical phenomenon of indefinite verb forms in the narrow sense of the Lithuanian, Czech and Latvian languages. The subject matter is a treatise of various forms of participles and transgressives (we are not specifically concerned with infinitive in this thesis), chiefly in the Lithuanian language, but in relation to the Czech and Latvian language. Participles and transgressives are regarded as grammatical units, which are an integral part of a modern-day language; however the currency of their usage, in contrast to the past, is fading. We have focused on a summary of existing knowledge of participles and transgressives in the Lithuanian, Latvian and Czech language, pointing out the similarities and differences among them; on collection of actual language materials and the analysis of the usage in the Bibliographic database of Lithuanian newspaper articles (Lith. Bibliografin Lietuvos periodins spaudos straipsni baz; a collection of articles, published in Lithuanian printed media from 1994 to 2002). One of the objectives of my thesis was to compare equivalents of Lithuanian, Latvian and Czech forms,...

The world without borders in S.T. Kondrotas work
Fantová, Martina ; Šeferis, Vaidas (referee) ; Lemeškin, Ilja (advisor)
Diploma work is focused on the work of a contemporary Lithuanian prose writer Saulius Tomas Kondrotas (1953). His tales and novels are placed into the Lithuanian and world literary context. The impact of magic realism and surrealism is confirmed; an inspiration is found in the work of other authors as F. M. Dostojevskij or W. Faulkner. Kondrotas is appreciated for individual style and topics common for his work, such as a phenomenon of death, detailed recitation, border crossing of common life perception, colourful description. The tales and especially the structure of novels are full of not only biblical, but also pagan and mythy motives.

The perception of "home" and "journey" in Russian proverbs
Součková, Veronika ; Uličná, Olga (referee) ; Lemeškin, Ilja (advisor)
Percepce prostoru domova a prostoru cesty spolu s reflexí postavení hostů/ cizinců v ruské lidové kultuře je velmi zajímavý lingvisticko-sociologický fenomén, jehož zkoumání se dotýká řady vědních oborů - psychologie, sociologie, folkloristiky, lingvistiky, etnoligvistiky apod. Prostor domova a prostor cesty spolu s přechodnou sférou mezi nimi (~. status cizinců/hostů) tvoří páteřní strukturu lidského světa a jsou základní součástí života každého jednotlivce. Zkoumáním otázek souvisejících s reflexí těchto životních sfér v ruském folklóru se zatím zabýval jen nevelký počet lingvistických, sociolingvistických či lingvofolkoristických prací. Ve své profesi práce s cizinci a uprchlíky jsem se často setkala s mnoha formami přístupu k osobám přicházejícím do usedlé společnosti "zvenčí". Na řadě konkrétních příkladů jsem si uvědomila hluboké rozdíly v tom, jakým způsobem společnost vnímá "své" a "cizí, pocházející odjinud". Je zřejmé, že tyto sociální jevy nejsou nijak nové a že jejich odraz lze nalézt v různých oblastech života člověka, tedy i v jazyce. Z toho důvodu jsem se rozhodla věnovat pozornost analýze reflexe obrazu domova a cesty v ruském jazyce.
